I dont see anything wrong with Nasir's celebration plan. He is his early twenties. He will get cooler with time. As long as he shows the hunger and score runs I am happy with it.

Crap team selection. We took one step forward with the inclusion of in form NCL players like Naeem and Gazi only to nullify the move with the inclusion of two Left handed "walking wickets" and leaving out anamul hq jr.

SN was total failure in BPL(has to be side lined) , with A team tour of India was miserable both in & out of field and subsequently had to packed for home by the coach ! And lastly in NCL there were no significant performances . Yet he was selected on what criteria we don't know . Where as we have side lined best batsman of the recent under19 WC and one of the centurians of the ongoing NCL .

Akka!, Nanna! and Habba! are the greatest selectors we've ever had. Look how well Nayeem and SG have done so far. Failures belong to the players alone but their success is always credited to those who haven't played in years. Fact of life people.

To be fair...SN has been about as prolific as any BD batsman in the previous Tests. Had several fifties against PAK, WI, other teams. Junaid was also a safe pick. But now that we see their form/calibre time to bring in new blood.

What is with the selectors and Abul Hasan one has to wonder, his bowling is not international standard, he has the highest economy rate among the bowlers in this match as usual and still they keep picking him as a bowler series after series. The other debutant Gazi has outperformed him in bowling by miles. From now on if he is ever picked it should be as a specialist batsmen otherwise you have to question the sanity of the selectors
